CASHEWS SOLD AT WALMART RECALLED OVER UNDECLARED ALLERGENS

The Food and Drug Administration says cashews sold at Walmart stores in more than two dozen states are being recalled because of undeclared allergens.

Some 8.25-oz. containers of the Great Value honey roasted nuts may contain coconut and milk not disclosed on the product packaging, prompting the recall and allergy alert, maker John B. Sanfilippo & Son Inc. said in the announcement.

The company told consumers to avoid eating the cashews from such containers if they have a “best by” date of July 8, 2025, and a UPC of 078742133348, because of the allergen concern.

The issue arose because of a limited number of plastic cans containing coconut cashews erroneously receiving labels for honey-roasted cashews during the manufacturing process.

Still, the FDA allergy alert warned people “who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to coconut or milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product from the impacted best if used by date” identified by the company.

The nut containers also went to Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and West Virginia.

Consumers with the affected product can return it to Walmart and get their money back.
